CHALLENGING THE GIANT/GIANTS IN YOUR LIFE.

One of my favorite life changing stories in the Bible is the one about David and Goliath. Here is a youth, David, who was responsible for his father's few sheep in the wilderness, making sure that they were protected from the lions and the bears. One day he had to deliver food to his brothers who were soldiers in King Saul's army.

Persons were being healed of diverse diseases outside of the ‘prescriptive methods’ of the health authority of that time. They were no longer going to physicians and spending big bucks, they were now following Jesus and all it was costing them was their faith!
